The reference to the playlist being in m3u format means that it is in the same format as produced by the find
command mentioned earlier.
Update for RC1
Fluid has been updated, and released under a GPL License (Way to go Lars!)
Here are the main differences:
A new format fluid.config•
A new default port 4711•
A new method of starting and stopping. Fluid now used the scripts fluid.start and fluid.stop•
Source code is now part of the dist. Yippee!•
11.3 Litestream
Litestream is similar in it's operation to Icecast. The system is composed of the streamer and the source.
To start the streamer you issue a command in the following format:
[dj@megajukebox]$ litestream <source port> <stream host> <stream port> <max listeners> <log ident> [<yp host> <yp port>]
The options are as follows:
source port Is the port you connect the 'audio' source to.
stream host This is the IP or FQDN of your server (find this out with the hostname command for domain
name or cat /etc/hosts for your IP address).
stream port This is the port number clients connect to.
max listeners This is the number of clients who can connect to your server.
log ident Log messages are written to /var/log/messages. <log ident> is a ident string used to identify the
Litestream server, eg.
If you use the ident string 'Litestream' the server starting message in /var/log/messages would look similar to:
Sep 18 19:32:20 linux Litestream[1901]: stream.c:555: main: 'server started'
<yp host & yp port> These 2 options specify the host and port of an yp server, used to announce your server
to mp3 directory servers.
Here is an example:
